- Smoky Hills Public Television examines this period of mass relocation of children in the United States, widely recognized as the beginning of documented foster care in America, in its historical documentary Placing Out: The Orphan Trains.
Produced by Smoky Hills Senior Producer Les Kinderknecht, Placing Out: The Orphan Trains combines archival material with interviews with actual orphan train riders, rider descendants and historical consultants. The program is meant to help create awareness of the Orphan Train Era and preserve the history of the movement and those who were a part of it.
Among those interviewed for the documentary were actual orphan train rider Ann Harrison of Lincoln, Nebraska; Francis Schipper, Hays; Lee Rich Lundy and Doloris Pfeifer Pederson, Russell; Walter Straub and Kevin Lockwood, Great Bend; Sharla Thill, Ellinwood; and Judy Ruffo, Lincoln, Nebraska.
Placing Out: The Orphan Trains previewed in September 2007 at the historic Brown Grand Theatre in Concordia, Kansas, in conjunction with the grand opening of the National Orphan Train Museum and Research Center, the 20th Anniversary of the Orphan Train Heritage Society of America and the 100th Anniversary of the Brown Grand.
The program is funded in part by the Kansas Humanities Council, a non-profit cultural organization promoting understanding of the history, traditions and ideas that shape our lives and build community.

My great grandfather and his brothers were brought to TX on the Orphan Train. They were placed in separate homes. Years later, they were both truckers sitting across a corner bar seat from each other when one said he came thru on the Orphan Train. The talk progressed until they exchange names and tears. They were brothers and grew up less than 40 miles from each other. Wow.
This Story Gave Me Goosebumps, With A Heartfelt Tear. 🕊💜🕊
Omg
They are liars. This was child trafficking
It was a reset in history. Stolen from their parents.
The parents were killed. (John 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (Revelation 12:13) When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness (USA), where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach. Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring-those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus. The reset you speak about is actually after Satan tried to flood out the Children of the Light. Research Mud floods.
Yep.
@@user-uj4vs8zm8x We don't need all that....
Jk!!!!
I agree, it was trafficking. Most were orphans, or had families who couldn’t care fore them. It wasn’t uncommon for parents to come for a visit to learn the child had been shipped elsewhere & had no way to contact them. Some children were wanted & were treated very well. Others, however, were not. America isn’t alone in this activity. Britain had orphans sent by ships to different territories. I recently read about a huge farming complex with the indentured children who were farm workers. They were beaten, rapes were not uncommon, and fed food fit for the livestock - makes me think of a top tier Nazi work camp.
A lot of the parents of these 'so-called' orphans, probably ended up in the thousands of asylums of the time.
Your spot on. Mostly starting from the reconstruction period after the War of Northern aggression.
Similarly though, Orphans were gathered up from the streets of England, Ireland and others and were shipped to the Colonies throughout the 1500-1700's. This also included adults for white slavery/indentured servants which included the sugar plantations as far South as the Caribbean and beyond. Blacks were brought in later to add to native Blacks that were already here. There were Black, Jewish and Indian slave owners, not just whites as the false history narrative would have you believe. It's all about Commerce.
Exactly my thought, just for Questioning the narrative could get you put into an asylum.
There's MUCH more to this story than what we're being told here....I'm not sure why exactly BUT in countries across the world hundreds of thousands of sudden orphans were being shipped out. In Italy there were way stations for the orphan train riders for lack of a better term. The children would stop at them before being processed out to wherever they were going. Records state that between ONLY 2 of these stations 93,000 orphans came through.....in a single month. look into Max Eigen as he's done a lot of interesting research on this topic and his study holds no loyalty to ANY agenda, political or otherwise.
But I believe there's simply MORE to this story than we've been lead to believe.
Also....if you have ONE parent or BOTH parents you are not an orphan. I believe that SOME parents gave their children away because they wanted them to have a better life....but for THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of parents giving up their child? Into the Industrial Revolution when America was becoming the wealthiest country in the world? Doesn't add up. This isn't during the depression. It went on from roughly 1850-1930.
Adam...look up mudflood.
You can guarantee the people talking in this video are less than trash.
This was a world wide phenomenon
Where can I find more info on this please?
THE RECORDS GOT BURNED.
WE KNOW THAT TUNE
czcams.com/video/ygRXSB8mQ0c/video.html indeed i do know who did it
My Great Grandfather was purchased off the orphan train to work on a farm. He was treated horribly, like a slave. He had to sleep in the pantry on the floor and only ate the left overs after the family was done. He ran away in his teens to join the military. We dont know how he ended up on the train but this story leaves out a lot. It wasn't always a good thing like its portrayed.
HERE IT IS!!!! as im listening to them lie I thought to myself exactly what you typed 😩 smh damn im mad your grandad and the others went thru that 😌
I felt such dread that this is what happened to some.
This did not just happen to some, it happened to most. No one kept track of the kids, where they went, who took them, if they were well or anything, there was no paper trail. You just showed up and chose the kids you wanted. This is a gross injustice to feed the sick and twisted beings that have no morals nor care for the rest humanity. This is a G rated version. I'm glad your family member made it out, so many did not. Sex trafficking is called the oldest form of commerce aka prostitution. Children were not excluded then as they are not excluded now.
Mine too
He was a slave they all were slaves!!! History has lied to us … white Children we’re the slaves .
The orphans were the children of the Tartarians that built our old world before the mud flood. The orphans were put to work digging out these grand Tartarian buildings from that flood. Almost every city has one of these Tartarian buildings from the old world and you know them as your old downtown courthouse or jail. You will be able to pick them out easily because the windows are halfway under ground and the other half of the windows are sticking outta the ground and nobody builds any structures with windows halfway in and out of the dirt, it makes no sense. We now call them Victorian buildings but the craftsmanship even today cannot be duplicated even with all the technology we have, we will never be able to compare ourselves to the craftsman of the old world.
Buildings are into the ground, I saw a picture if an underground window completely covered and buried.
They took these kids to the Masonic Halls to sell em. Suspect as all hell...
Betty Davis there’s not an architect in the world that designs buildings with the windows halfway into the dirt and the upper half at ground level. These buildings survived the last reset but were still buried in mud from the last great flood our history doesn’t tell us about. The new people that took them over basically received “free masonry buildings” and now you know how they got their name. Most buildings was almost impossible to dig out and that’s why when you look at really old photos of these buildings it’s clear that the structure is much older than what we’re told and they built brand new stairs going into the second floor because the original first is no longer. The old second floor then becomes the new first floor.
@@theautodidacticman_ When I was younger it was said St Petersburg, Russia was not built, but it was unearthed. Shovelled out of the ground. Now I google this history and I didn't find it. Instead the history I found went like this- dirt was shovelled in the area to fill in the marshes. Then the grand palaces were built on top. Maybe someone else can find evidence of the more accurate history.
Or maybe it's just my Mandella effect.
Whats sad is..a lot of these kids werent placed in homes because ppl WANTED children. They needed help on their farms and children..were cheap.
What about the incubator babies they were shown in for instance The New York World Fair in the late 1800’s
I think those babies had families. They were showing off the invention of the incubator.
Either that or they never knew they were from there.
We still have orphan trains.. Its now called CPS. Child Protective Services.
child [procurement] services
@@Zoie3x8 Professional kidnappers is what they really are
Child Prostitution Services!
@@timmywitty1432 omg YES!!!! Straight up largest providers of sex trafficked children in the US
If only there was no need to protect children from those who should be protecting them!
You ever wonder how many were placed in saloons and other entertainment industries ? the parents did not wish to just give up the best way to describe human trafficking i ever heard ,
the darker side of the orphan train and how it ended ....Many of the adoptions were done through force ...one such story came from the mines in Appalachians Hungarians father and older son where down under working a 12 hour shift the younger children remained above going to schools and helping to run the family homestead ...3 million calories of food livestock farm animals etc...Then the social services wagon came to the home stead ...when the men returned from their shift the Hungarian mother was in a storm of disbelief the father and son the boy speaking both english and Hungarian sought out to stop the adoptions but the train had already left with 4 brothers and sisters gone never to be seen again....Later the unions would form block watches and the social services wagons would return to the stations empty with the sherifs deputies horse tied to the back ....but the social workers and deputies were gone never to be seen again...That was the end of the children's aid movement and Columbia university was sought out staffed and made to figure out better guidelines ...You see the father of the clan had refused to indenture the younger children to the mines and wanted them to instead seek out a better life ....The company reached out to children's aid society to retaliate....This account was given to me by my union business agent in Ohio as it was his family of Hungarian immigrants....
jezuss aitch christ. 🙁 are you serious? any links, books, articles written you could post?
I wonder if there are many more who might tell their stories if they werre not still afraid, like the halocaust survivors, many are still afraid. I once found property of a family that was stolen during the raids, an agency was trying to return it to the family, in the 1980's they were still afraid to claim it.
And here we have the official cover story for the foundlings post mud flood.
You my man are exactly fucking correct everyone else doesn't know what the fuck they're talkin about they're nothing but sheeple blind to the fact that we have been completely lied to it's good to know that somebody out there is paying attention though
I was thinking the same. I watch “Question The Narrative”.
@@sissiemae845 I watch it too! It's really interesting.
It is a propaganda document. I think they realised how many people are questioning this stupid narrative. Just like Charles Dickinson had to write Oliver Twist to paint the picture in the first place.
And the lunatic castles opps sorry homes lol
My great grandma was on an Orphan train. She ended up in Illinois on a census that lists her as "hired help" (-_-)
Where did these children come from, I believe there is so much more to this story that we are not being told
I heard that many of these children were NOT orphans at all. They were children removed from poor environments and offered to farmers to help them work the farms.
That’s true
He se why you see so many children working int the early 1900s . Makes you ask the questions was there more children than adults between 1860-1900s?!?
From the story I heard the children were taken from their family and told their parents were not their real parents and they were sent to different places to be used as workers. In other words they were child slaves. I wish people would start telling the truth and stop covering up for the crime. Those children were put to work on the rail road to build tracks also in farming and housekeeping. Stop covering up. I have seen the pictures
Yes I heard this also
This is a G rated version of what actually happened. Sex trafficking has been a very profitable commerce and considered the oldest. Children were not only included, they were highly sought and brought in more revenue. That is just what it is. Some of these Orphans may not have had such horrible lives but there was no paper trail, no one looking in to see where or how the kiddos turned out, no accountability or give a darn.
well that was a sanitized fluff piece that glossed over the reality that many of these kids were abused in every imaginable way.
I believe it
Absolutely. Not that many women, world wide would give away their children. Millions of children all across the globe at the same time did not give away their children. Hey deep state Masonic jerks, stop lying to us! We will find the truth and this is all bull shit!
I would hope you would realize some people treated some of the kids well.
yup
Where did the parents go? How could there be so many orphans? How do the incubator babies factor in?
Resets have been going on through the ages. Many parents who knew too much or spoke too loud were put into “mental institutions” they were weeding out the adults,leaving children on the streets. Many just freed slaves were thrown into these mental institutions.eugenics was involved. Family histories were purposely erased,and religious faiths were purposely changed. 😕😢
was this the reset after the last cull...
Correct. This was the last reset. I think so anyway

I was an illegitimate child, I can never forget the day I discovered God as my Father, it was and is glorious, there are really nice people in the world, but the best pale in comparison to my heavenly Father ❤️
barry barnard not close to relevant to this story.
Yes it is relevant to this story ,he will be your father ,mother
You found the most important Father! A person doesn't understand until it happens to them which I pray for all.
@@NM-js8ky What an idiot... Call no man on earth father. Only the Almighty is the father. He didn't have a Dad and found out that he had something much better... The Almighty.
A child of the KING !
Such a sad, hardened & crazy history we have. I was never taught this in school. I hope these people grew up with some love and support somehow. ❤️ Poor children.
they were killed but not all
They had poor houses to if you couldn't support your family they were sent to the poor house. Get up each day and work for your crust of bread or what ever they could afford which was not much.
Child slavery. They try to coat it over but that's what it was. And most were not orphans but taken from their parents.
@@KittyKat-vb1nd do you know where i can find more information about that?
So many important and key missing pieces being left out of this tragic story. It amazes me how some people can actually sleep at night.
😪😢
@Taurus76 Rising. I totally agree. There are many stories being told that many of these children were not true orphans. Many were removed from their homes because of poor conditions. These children were offered to farmers to help them work their land. I hope they had a good life, but they certainly didn't have a childhood. They were worked very hard. I hope they found education and had a better life as they matured and were able to be on their own. I wish there was a video about these children speaking about their experiences with these new families.
Then make your own video explanation of how it ACTUALLY went down if you know so much. Maybe you'd be able to sleep at night.
@@trip4923 Wow... your comments not ignorant at all... And btw... I know my history VERY WELL, do you?
@@ROYALS-SLAYOR For real. Since you know so much make a video. There was nothing sarcastic about that comment. You put that spin on it. Make your video. Talk about your family that was part of the orphan trains.
When I think about strangers taking in such vulnerable people I get so negative. The potential for abuse and all...then I see all these good people and remember good people helped these children.
Not even a little. Many did not survive in these homes and no one looked in on them, no paper trail. You showed up, chose the ones you wanted and left. They wanted the "trash" out of the streets. I think many of them were sold, the rest were given away.
@@same_ole_lemonz4195
that's terribly cynical...and some comments here say some children had good lives this way. People tried and did the best they could...and it is a disservice to them to say everyone involved hurt the kids.
Dang. My mouth dropped when that woman said she was proud of their town's history. She doesn't even know the truth, or I hope that's why.
@3.14 the blank traumatized expressions of sexual abuse on their faces is truly heartbreaking.
Glad to see the "Alternate theory" comments on these vids

We adopted internationally 4 times, working on adoption number 5 now. With 2 biological sons too....we have a large family. I was adopted by my Moms husband at birth, found out in my 20s that I was not my Dads Biological daughter. I never would have known, my Dad loved me so much. To me, adoptive or biological kids are the same, wanted children. I am blessed to have All my kids.
By internationally, do you also mean that you adopted children outside your race? Perhaps, the often unwanted handicap/special needs children? Or were they all perfectly white?
Whatever your criteria, I’m sure these Kids are certainly blessed to have you, since change/tolerance & acceptance begins first inside the home.
@@ask4theupgrade359 I really don't classify my kids as anything but my kids....kids that once needed a family that now have one. Does not matter about what type of kids they are, just that they belong to me. And yes, blessings abound for me and my husband. We picked them, because we wanted the honor to be their parents, yes they got us too and love us, but we are the ones grateful to have them! 🙂
And the market wants the "" biological "" children to sell them, like products... this is why they are destroying little by little what a natural family is.

You may think that this is "great" but the outcome will be monstrous.
This is how begin the bacha bazi.
@@Paraclef Well in my case, adoption is part of generations of my family tree. My Grandma lost her family in a fire, so she had to be adopted. My biological Dad could not raise me so my Moms hubby adopted me, I adopted kids with significant medical needs, they also were orphaned and had no one to raise them. Never did I adopt because I could not have biological kids, never did I adopt to save anyone. My Grandma, myself, and my kids NEEDED a family, there was no choice for any of us. Unless we all preferred to be alone in life. So yes, I believe in adoption. But, do I believe adoption is right in every circumstance, no. Kids gets taken from their family, kidnapped from relatives who can raise them, etc. In all the stories of MY family, we do not fit the demographics of wanting a young child or paying for a woman to give us a child. I CAN have kids and did....but I know what it's like to be without a parent and am glad I have the most amazing parents I can and do call my own. Oh and by the way, my kids I adopted are older kids...not babies! SO, I do agree...no woman should grow babies for adoptive families.
And remember Seinfield's father was an incubator baby at Ellis Island!
What??? Was this in an episode or his real father?
@@kaliyuga2758 I too would like to know the answer to that question...

It sounds like an eugenics program. We are going to see similar stories in the the "CV post-vaccination" period very soon.
Same people working their trade. The money changers and banks. Look up the Sumerian swindle
yup exactly
Lot of parents that disagreed with them they would place them in asylums
Yes. I am fairly new to learming that a reset, mudflood, tartarian erasing occurred, I am gathering bits of info everywhere!! So many infornative gems still out there!(See Autodidatic, JonLevi channels for awesome photos and info!)I do think that the insane asylums and orphan trains have a very close, if not a direct relationship.
@@datpersonschannel5420 you have a link to these channels,Tartaria means the abyss and in older dictionaries a tartarian is a habitant of hell
Is that why peewee Herman dressed up like a train conductor ?
The question 🤔 why. Nothing else WHY ??
One thing that was not mentioned was the stigma on the treatment of illegitimate children by society at this time . Those children had it mentioned on their birth certificate's that they were illegitimate and it strongly effected where they were in society. I am sure that some of these children were in orphanages and were on the Orphan Trains. Therefore it was best that the child never knew that this was the case and was a good reason to "loose"a birth certificate. Their mother may well have wanted them, but chose to start her life over as she had no support financially or from social institutions except by orphanages .
I've heard stories where children born out of wedlock were just taken away from their mothers. Sometimes the mothers were told their child had died. So sad.
I love learning about the past. Thank you for doing this. God Bless You All 🙏
Don't forgot all of the fathers who married the mother, after the birth. That is how many people were coupled for a lifetime. There weren't that many fairy tale marriages.
I was thinking about the,… Huge Asylums. Certainly there were children being born from that… situation. Not to mention the “abuse” outcomes resulting in babies. Makes the Baby incubators and orphan trains…I bit more easy for me to envision. Your point about illegitimate births. I read about the Churches in Ireland, dealing in trafficked children as well, so it might have been most Churches, preaching abstinence.
Most of them were not illegitimate.
So many people don't understand that all children living on farms worked hard. Adopted or not they worked hard to help make a living and children automatically helped in those days. We have no idea how hard family members worked. My mom walked 2 miles from home before school to help fed a neighbors turkeys as a child to help out the family. She never complained because all her siblings knew they worked at home on the busy farm plus helped others in need. It was a different time in life that is mostly gone now. But, much love was also shared and remembered of helping where the need was and appreciation without saying.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
My Grandfather came to Canada from England as a foundling. Thank you for telling the stories for those who cannot.
have you seen the video about 'foundlings' sold at the big state fairs?
Anytime we get a glimpse at something that isn't general known or taught, it's important. It adds to our understanding that "our history" has "mystery" woven into it, that we may never know or understand.
Mystery and uncovering buried truths, is a gift.
This is a well made introduction to this interesting topic!
And now, is the time, to really open our minds to what we are being shown here.
Elis island...the "devil spikes" of lady liberty? 🗽
A bit different then the usual way she's described!
they falsified our history too, czcams.com/video/ygRXSB8mQ0c/video.html
My mother and her siblings were considered orphans because her mother passed away about 18 months after giving birth to my mother. Their father was still alive, but eventually all my aunts and uncles, including my mother, were separated and raised by other aunts, uncles and cousins. The five children were kept with family and not offered out to be adopted by strangers. Many families that could keep the children together did, but others couldn't. Hope these children had a better life. Sad for the parents and children.
Only a child tath was being true , can tell you the real feeling of missing your one dad and mother and sisters and brothers .
It is a shame that it was for so long as secret because talk about such a trauma is the only ting tath helps you to cam in peace with it .
Greetings from Brazil and God bless you all 😔
nothing hid will not be revealed in the open.
This guy was so nice to children that he gave up on the adults saying they were beyond hope? How kind. Those adults who were once children. Very, idk, humanitarian. Totally.
More like children can be groomed molded and shaped into modern day slaves
mail carriers would also deliver children to far away places
Why was these children without their parents?
czcams.com/video/vlkyjDJI_ik/video.html
Criticism, because no state has that many homeless children. Everyone knew something was seriously wrong about what was going on. That's why Louisiana has an orphan train museum. Only one of two in the nation. It also documents that the children came from out of the country.
I enjoyed that program, thanks for posting.
I’m Latino, I loved this history . Sad 😞 for some of children that never knew anything about their biological parents.
THANK YOU ❣️ FOR SHARING ⭐
crazy wages were so low where you couldnt feed yourself or your kids
Imagine wanting kids and no matter how much you work you cant afford them or barely yourself :(
This mustve been so painful
Now i really get why so many working laws and wage laws were passed
Basically had everyone as slaves
what happened to all the parents
Asylum’s
At the time he was doing a good thing , we live in softer times so cant really judge the 1850s , my grandfather worked down a coal mine as a child, my dad went to sea at 14 in 1939 . kids worked younger and had harder lives
Harder times? We use drones to murder people from the air these days.
Loved this!
Poor children lost they're ties to they're birth parent's

The man who started
Wendy’s was an orphan train rider I believe. He has a bad experience, but was also very supportive of adoption even so,
Dave Thomas was a freemason and was probably bought at a masonic lodge himself as a child....
The idea was, if parents gave up their children, the both parents could work.

The orphan trains and worlds fairs go hand and hand. That’s what the powers at be need to do after a reset. 😅

OMG
Zachary Denham on CZcams has quite a few videos about the Tartians, the mud floods and the orphan trains.
Makes me think of Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz … she was a Orphan dreaming if going home … Little Orphan Annie an Shirley Temple all depicted Orphans. The Disney movies depicting dead parents an Orphan Children.
Many children were exploited
Parents were wiped out
Ah, the last purge...
The National Orphan Train Museum in Concordia, KS is fascinating
Does anyone else have trouble watching and enjoying old movies like westerns, after knowing more about true history, I can't but help rewrite them in my mind.
Don’t ever stop remembering the past otherwise it will be lost. Tell their stories ❤
He was selling children for labor. Why does everyone talk about him like he was some great person? He was a rich guy who got tired of the poor and could not force adults, who would fight him out, but he could pick on the kids... gather them up and sell them for profit while making the city nicer for his elite.
They were basically selling slaves/indentured servants. At one point in history every race was put into slavery! I don't know if it was in the US, but in some countries it was legal to pick up and basically kidnap homeless/poor men, women and children and sell them into slavery!
Did he personally profit from it , in the context of the times wasn't he doing a good thing
@@bearsagainstevil no, pure evil. no good intent whatsoever. could be wrong though.
Charles Loring Brace was genuinely concerned for the multitudes of homeless kids in NYC. He was NOT profiting financially off the kids by any means, because parents didn't pay adoption fees to take the kids in when the kids came to their towns. And there's no evidence that he stole the donations that people sent in for the children and used them for their own purposes! If these kids hadn't been sent west, they would have either starved to death on the streets, died of illnesses or injuries, or become hardened criminals by the time they were adults, since many of them had to resort to crime just to survive! So really, being sent out west to be adopted by caring families really WAS a good thing for them, and a majority of the kids WERE treated well. Yes, there was hard work on farms, but EVERYBODY, adopted or not, had to work hard if they were going to survive, especially in an era without many of today's modern conveniences!
@@JoMarieM lol, you're gullible. These kids were trafficked!

7:30 PM thank you.
This is heartbreaking! I do not see how my great grandmother made it with 3 very young girls (toddlers & a baby) after her mob gangster husband disappeared.. I wish I had been older to hear her stories before she passed in 1986... all I know is she was able to avoid this as well as Georgia Tann.. I guess she was a lucky very poor mother at the time. As far as my grandfathers family it was always kept very hush hush to us.. I only recently found out about his loved ones being lost in the Holocaust and the years prior being left in Europe when he and his parents fled from there in 1915 or so
And now to relearn the truth regarding the so-called 'gas chambers'...etc. It was officially declared bt the high court they never existed. However, there were crematoriums that dealt with the 1 million that died during ww2 from death from starvation and disease.
Look up the 10 part documentary Europa the last battle made in 2017 by Tobias Bratt
part 8 is about the holocaust
They are promoting this information now because they have just started a new reset. Look out for people being separated.
The lucky ones and about the others? what happened to them?
At this same time there were gigantic insane asylums everywhere. What are they saying about these n the incubator babies?
nothing just like thy hush up this going on right now czcams.com/video/QEEbH7ANBOE/video.html

funny how they didnt teach us this in school
what is the difference between a "Half Orphan" and "Orphan" ? Legal definition used in the United States . An Orphan is a minor bereft through "The death or disappearance of, abandonment or desertion by, or separation or loss from, both parents". A Half Orphan lost just one parent.
There were no background checks on the families who took them. Widowers adopted young teen and preteen girls to replace the wives they lost during childbirth or sickness. The people who took these kids used them as slaves, many weren’t sent to school, and 90% of them had at least one living parent. Many kids were lied to and told their parent died when they were only in the hospital. Most of the kids had no idea when they were born or how old they were. They were lined up like cattle to be inspected by anyone who was curious enough to come and see them. Siblings were split up when someone only wanted one child. But so many suffered at the hands of the people who took them. Many times they were sent from one family to another and went through more than a half dozen families before they were finally kept.
Thanks for your reply I would check with the museum and research center.
Anne of Green Gables arrived on the orphan train.
I thought it was pre arranged and they sent Anne instead of a boy? Please let me know!
It was arranged but Matthew arrived late and the boy was already taken. He couldn’t leave Anne there alone in the cold so he took her.
Marrilla tries to take Anne back the next day, only to find people want a housekeeper or nanny, Anna tells her it is fine because she had taken care of two sets of twins. Marilla turns back to Green Gables. Anne was born in Rutland Vermont both her parents died of a fever when she was 2 years old.
Anne of Green Gables was set in Canada. It had absolutely nothing to do with this story. Anne traveled by train, but that is the only connection. The people adopting her had asked an acquaintance to bring them a boy. They passed the message through someone else and it was relayed incorrectly. Kind of appalling that a child would just be handed over into the care of strangers in this way, but still nothing to do with this story.
You obviously did not read whole series. Anne of the Isle, Anne has a Home of Her Own all written by Lucy Maude Montgomery.
Guess you have 5 more books to read.

Simple question when Anne goes off to college she and her friends rent a house from two elderly women who are traveling to Scotland, what were the andirons by the fire place?
Music was too loud. Would have been better without music at all.
Totally agree. Are you related to David Cassidy?
white slavery?
100%
Slaves or helpers or adopters, but I guess it was better for those children's, to live in the street without anybody to take care of them, it's sad any way you see it, but it was a better option for them to have shelter, food and guidance.
Question : Where did all the children come from? They were also sold at State and world fair events
It's sad and good depending on the family. Sometimes its slave like. I knew a woman...sibling of 9. Was on the train
She has long passed. Good lady

Is there a way to research my grandfather possibly being one of these children? He was born in 1926 and refused to talk about his child hood would only give little bird and pieces. He said he had 12 siblings and when I researched them with the last name he spoke of 2 times in his life and I found them. All of them were born in different states at different times. He was such a wonderful happy man and didn’t like to talk about sad things from his life so he would get upset if he spoke about his family. I am 43 years old and I haven’t met any of these people. My grandfather passed 3 years ago. He was 94 years old and it seems like all his siblings have passed years ago. I’m starting to think he and his siblings may have been orphan train children. His birth certificate says he was born in Staten Island and he says he grew up in Brooklyn NY. He lied about his age to get into the army and fought in ww2. He never looked back once he got home from war. I miss my pop, he was such a sweet man, I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t want to know his family and I’m sad that he went through such pain.
to live happy is not easy for some
add to that a childhood heartache and it becomes almost impossible
my pop and your pop sound like the same pop
only mine was from louisianna
celebrate that you had a good one, many don't
some people came out of that era with hate, and shared it with as many people as they could
i'm 55 and mine made it to age 97
he passed nearly 20 years ago and has a great reputation in my family
ol pop, the chicken man
@@_clement_shade thank you 🙂 your comment made me smile.
Why didn't the parents teach their natural children that these orphan train children are just like them...only difference, these orphan train children had no choice and were taken from their families. They should have taught their biological children, since they were Christians, to treat every human being with respect and consideration.
people of their time - adoption had a negative stigma. reason absolutely frigging unknown...
The history of America, so sad. I know some of these children were adopted into slavery, to many stories of that taking place. So sad!!
This story is riddled with lies, there is much more to this story
This account contradicts itself.
Holy christ . Call it what it is .
The music is distracting.
Kinda funny how I ended up in like an adult orphanage way back in 09😮😢😂❤
